A changing UN might offer India a new role

Deccan Chronicle  

Come September”, as a classic Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida film was titled, may well be the description of the annual high-level segment meeting of the United Nations General Assembly. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to skip the UN General Assembly is understandable as he prepares for crucial state elections followed soon by the Lok Sabha polls that will decide his future. India must realise that as an aspirant for a permanent seat at the UN Security Council high table, it is vitally important to keep domestic politics aligned with liberal values. While permanent members like China can get away with blatant breaches such as the treatment of Uighurs in Xinjiang, including herding them into re-education camps en masse, or Russia can send GRU agents abroad for hamhanded targeting of defectors, India is best served internationally by abiding by its ancient value system of tolerance and non-sectarianism. This lack of cohesiveness is impacting the UN’s ability to play a role in resolving international crises like over the northern Syrian city of Idlib, where a large civilian population is trapped amid 30,000-odd deadly Islamic militants linked to Al Qaeda or other Sunni radical Islamist groups.
